“In fact, this is love for God: to keep His commands. And His commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.” (I John 5:3-4 NIV)

Many people try to live good lives, but find it difficult. They often fail to stop sinning, and even when they have a little bit of success they are unhappy and grumpy. The human heart has a strong urge to do the things it knows are wrong.

However, for those of us who are true believers, it is not “burdensome” to do what is right. This is because we have been “born of God,” we are new creatures. If you want to be changed you must repent of your sins (you have a lot of them!) and believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God who died for you to save you. If you believe in God, God will change you with His power. Only through faith in Him can you truly “overcome the world.”
